30 million cash injection from sale of Xabi Alonso.

Alonso's recent departure to Real Madrid meant that Perez has spent 220 million pounds on bringing players into Real Madrid, of which two came from Liverpool (Alonso and Arbeloa). Alonso's departure also meant that only two players (Gerrard and Carragher) remained from the 18 players that featured in the penalty shoot out with AC Milan in 2005, which ended withM Liverpool lifting the Champions League Cup.

It is sad that Alonso is leaving, especially since he featured an important role in Liverpool's success in contending for top spot in BPL last season. While we can't stop players from moving on to greener pastures, it would be exciting to see what Benitez will be doing with the cash that he has in hand from the outgoing summer transfers.

My suggestion would be that he increases his attacking options which is greatly affected after Alonso's departure. Hopefully Liverpool can remain title contenders this season and hopefully re-claim top spot soon...
